Specifying Backup Location Settings

In this article

    To specify backup location settings, you can edit the /etc/veeam/devices.ini configuration file directly. To do this, you can use a text editor of your choice.

    To specify backup location settings, in the /etc/veeam/devices.ini file, enter a record of the following format:

    [<location_name>]
    Class = 4
    Remote = 0
    Path = </path/to/backup>
    SizeInMB = 0

    where:

    • <location_name> — name of the backup location.
    • </path/to/backup> — path to a VTD file (for a full backup) or directory to keep backup files (for incremental backups).

    For the full description of the devices.ini file format, refer to the ubax manual page. To view the manual page, use the man ubax command.

    Examples

    The following example displays a record in the devices.ini file that defines settings of a backup location for a full backup.

    [full_backup]
    Class = 4
    Remote = 0
    Path = /mnt/backups/full/machine01.vtd
    SizeInMB = 0

    The following example displays a record in the devices.ini file that defines settings of a backup location for an incremental backup.

    [incremental]
    Class = 4
    Remote = 0
    Path = /mnt/backups/incremental/machine01
    SizeInMB = 0
